After being snubbed for his performance in The Social Network, Andrew Garfield took a detour from the awards season for a while. Part of that was his turn as Spider-Man, to be sure, though overall he just wasn’t making Academy friendly fare. Then, last year found him in contention for a pair of prestige titles, with Hacksaw Ridge and Silence. The former got Garfield his first nomination, while the latter expanded his range. This week, Breathe opens and hopes to propel Garfield back into the Best Actor field. All of the ingredients are there, so it’s definitely possible that we’re entering a period of time where Garfield will consistently be in the Oscar hunt. The film is a biopic of Robin Cavendish (Garfield) and Diana Cavendish (Claire Foy), a couple that defied the odds in truly spectacular fashion. When Robin is diagnosed with polio and loses the...

We chatted to actor Luke Newberry about his BBC Radio 4 Home Front role, In The Flesh, getting his start in acting and more…
“I’m still umm-ing, how annoying for you!” he says, but interviewing Luke Newberry isn’t annoying in the least. He’s at pains to give proper answers to questions, literally so judging by some of the noises he makes in our half-hour chat. His frustrated ‘aaghs’ and ‘ooohs’ and ‘umms’ are the sound of someone who doesn’t have a ready-made patter and who doesn’t want to just say any old thing.

When I ask him who would be his dream director, for instance, Newberry pauses, asks if we can come back to it later, pauses...

From crime novels to non-fiction, J.K. Rowling has found some time to write outside of the Potterverse.
J.K. Rowling will always be best known for her stories about a boy wizard and the world he inhabits, but she has written several works outside of the Harry Potter universe. If you'd like to see what Rowling's writing is like when she is not telling a story about wizards, check out one of these books...
The Casual Vacancy
The Casual Vacancy is a contemporary novel that touches on many of the issues Rowling couldn't easily put in Harry Potter: drugs, prostitution, rape, the list goes on. This is not a novel for those looking for a Potter-like escape, but it is a deftly told story that addresses some of the biggest social issues of modern Britain in bleak, insightful ways.
The premise? When a well-known local politician dies suddenly,...

Some goofy banter and catchy folk ditties are the best thing about this hammy, predictable British comedy
This only fitfully amusing but affable British comedy features Mark Chavez and Shenoah Allen as two American brothers, both struggling actors, who inherit a sprawling country estate from their grandfather (voiced by Geoffrey Palmer, who narrates from beyond the grave). However, their plans to sell up and settle their debts hit a snag when they find a comely housekeeper (the eminently likable Emily Bevan) and her aged grandmother (Sara Kestelman, giving it full-on Little Edie realness with a turban and disdainful side glances) squatting in the property. Writer-director James Kibbey and the cast occasionally lob in a bit of well-timed goofy banter but the plotting is too predictable and the performances too hammy and broad, especially the gurning, grating Allen. Jaunty, silly folk ditties brighten up the soundtrack, especially a last daft tune...

Prepare to see a familiar tale told in a whole new way - BBC One is giving the tale of Noah's ark a dramatic overhaul with new one-off Biblical drama The Ark from writer Tony Jordan and starring David Threlfall in the lead.
Digital Spy spoke to Emily Bevan, who plays Salit, about what to expect - including some epic water works!
What can you reveal about your character in The Ark?
"The character I play is Salit - who is married to Noah's eldest son, Shem (Michael Fox). They live alongside the rest of the family in a big house - with thin walls, so she's pretty frustrated by the lack of privacy. She's desperate for her and Shem to build their own house and start a family."
People might think they know this story - so why should they tune in?
"Because they haven't seen the Tony Jordan version!

"The Casual Vacancy," the mini-series based on J.K. Rowling's adult mystery, will land Stateside on HBO in April. The three-part show will premiere on BBC One on February 15.
In the meantime, there's a little teaser trailer to introduce us to the quaint British town of Pagford. It all looks veddy proper and jolly indeed, but naturally there are all sorts of grown-up, non-wizard-y secrets lurking just below the surface. However, it probably doesn't help that Dumbledore is part of the ensemble cast. Just saying. It also stars Rory Kinnear, Emily Bevan, Julia McKenzie, Keeley Hawes, Monica Dolan, and Abigail Lawrie. The adaptation was written by Sarah Phelps, who also penned scripts for "Great Expectations," "Camelot," and "EastEnders."
"The Casual Vacancy" was J.K. Rowling's first novel outside of the "Harry Potter" series. Her second, "The Cuckoo's Calling," was released under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, although soon enough the author's real identity was revealed.

In The Flesh was a rare creature that will be sorely missed. Now that it’s been cancelled, will Amazon or Netflix come to its rescue?
In December, BBC Three announced a plan to leave behind genre labels when it moves online. Goodbye to comedy, drama and documentary; hello to shows that “make you laugh” and shows that “make you think”.
Weeks later, the channel announced the cancellation of original supernatural drama In The Flesh, a series that proved not only too expensive to continue, but evidently too complex. By making its audience empathise, critique, scrutinise and self-reflect on top of laughing and thinking, it seems that In The Flesh aimed too high.

Doctor Who, Sherlock, Game Of Thrones and more... As nominated by Den Of Geek writers, here are our favourite TV episodes of 2014
Whatever else it's brought with it, 2014 has been an exemplary year for television. There's so much good stuff around that keeping on top of it has become a job of work. How many of us have started silently dreading hearing enthused recommendations from pals about new series? Who else has developed a nervous tick whenever they hear the words "Have you been watching...". There's simply Too. Much. TV.
Too much, however, is better than not enough. Too much enables debate, and better than that, it enables the ultimate geek pursuit: list-making. A fortnight ago, we asked our writers to nominate their favourite television episodes of the year and have been busily collating their votes and happily clicking Excel buttons ever since.

Review
Read our spoiler-filled post-finale discussion with In The Flesh creator, Dominic Mitchell, here.
This review contains spoilers.
As flies to wanton boys are we to TV writers, they kill us for their sport.
Dominic Mitchell should have all his toys taken away for the cruel trick of starting joyful Amy’s heart beating just seconds before it was stabbed into a bloody mess. Move over Joss Whedon, there’s a new writer here to try on your ‘killing fan favourites and causing untold grief’ crown. The only way the In The Flesh creator must be able to live with himself is if he knows that’s not really the end for Amy Dyer. She’s coming back isn’t she? We all saw that plush tiger move. We all heard those Halperin & Weston employees.

If you haven't seen "In the Flesh" (the second season premieres Sat. March 10 at 10:00 p.m. Et), the good news is that you can still catch up. The first season is just three episodes, currently available for streaming on the BBC America website, and fans of zombie movies will catch on quickly. What might come as a surprise to horror buffs is that this show takes the idea of zombies a step further -- oh, don't say zombies, by the way. They're people with Pds -- Partially Deceased Syndrome -- who can be treated for their brain-chomping tendencies. I spoke to series creator Dominic Mitchell about how season two will be continuing the idea of zombie re-integration as it takes place 18 months after the first season ended. For those who sense more of a political slant this time, Mitchell say that's purely intentional. While suicide victim Kieren will still...

While we don’t have a UK release date at this time, it has been confirmed that it will premiere on BBC America on Saturday, May 10th at 10:00pm. For those who are unfamiliar with the series, here’s a brief overview of the first season:
“The series follows zombie teenager Kieren Walker and his reintegration back into both the local community and the heart of his family. After his suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see Kieren again. But then, shortly after his funeral, thousands rose from the dead; and after months of re-habilitation and medication, the zombies, now known as Pds (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers, are gradually being returned to their homes.

In The Flesh returns to BBC Three in May with twice the episodes and every bit of the charm of series one…
Un-zombie drama In The Flesh arrived on BBC Three last year fully-formed, having sprung Athena-like from the head of creator Dominic Mitchell. Similar to a carved miniature or a Swiss Army Knife, its containment - a complete story of grief, prejudice and acceptance folded neatly into three hour-long episodes - was part of the attraction.
Doubling the length and broadening the scope for series two then, was a dangerous prospect. A second run of In The Flesh risked being a bloated, diluted version of the first, a drama that had made its point, outstayed its welcome, and was hanging around only to weaken the good work of its predecessor.
Danger averted. The second run is nothing of the sort. In the most natural of ways,...

After a catastrophic war, imprisonment, and months of rehabilitation and medication, hoards of brain-craving undead have returned to a lucid state. The zombies, now known as Pds (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers, are gradually being introduced back into a society that so recently fought them off for survival. For Kieren, returning home means confronting the community...

Filming has begun on the second series of the award-nominated BBC Three zombie drama, In The Flesh.
Critically acclaimed creator Dominic Mitchell reignites the world of teenager Kieren Walker, a Pds (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferer who continues in his struggle to find acceptance.

BBC Three's impressive supernatural drama In The Flesh is filming its second series, due on screen in early 2014...
Meeting Kieren Walker and his Roarton neighbours last winter was a highlight not just of the year's exemplary TV drama, but of BBC Three's entire history. Scoff all you like at the digital channel's sun, sex and voyeurism programming, but from the home of the wonderful Being Human and The Fades, that's no damning with faint prase.
The cast, writing, and direction of BBC Three's In the Flesh cohered into that wonderful thing, a satisfying, moving drama with a headful of ideas and a sense of humour to boot.
Luckily, the powers that be agreed with us, and commissioned a double-length second series forthwith. That series is currently filming in the North West of England, and welcomes back the talents of Luke Newberry (Kieren), Emily Bevan...

We've already seen a few sneak peeks of "In the Flesh," premiering on BBC America this Thursday night, June 6th, but now we have the opening three minutes of the series and some new artwork to share. Check 'em out, and let us know if you'll be tuning in.
Synopsis:
"In the Flesh" explores a post-zombie-uprising - from the zombie’s perspective. The series follows 18-year-old Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry; Anna Karenina, Quartet), a Partially Deceased Syndrome (Pds) sufferer who, now treated with the medication Neurolax, is deemed ready to return to his parents’ home in the small village of Roarton. Since the passing of the Pds Protection Act, the government has set an agenda of acceptance and tolerance, one that is at odds with the communities abandoned at the time of The Rising and the bloody battle between zombies and humans that ensued.

When BBC America first announced it would be airing the UK mini-series "In the Flesh," the premiere date was in August, but they must have realized we Yanks need our zombies sooner than that as it has now been moved up to June 6th.
From the Press Release:
BBC America’s co-production "In the Flesh" tells a very human story... about the undead. The mini-series springs to life with a special broadcast event, premiering over three consecutive nights.
Zombie teenager Kieren Walker isn’t comfortable in his ‘undead’ state. He didn’t want to come back - he wanted to be dead. After his suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see him again. But then, shortly after his funeral, thousands rose from the dead. After months of rehabilitation and medication, the zombies, now known as Pds (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers, are gradually being returned to their homes.

Impressive BBC Three drama In the Flesh came to an emotional conclusion. Here’s Louisa’s review of the final instalment…
This review contains spoilers.
Midway through the final part of In the Flesh, it was all going so well. Kieren had cathartically confessed to the parents of his last victim, Amy was off to seek her undead fortune (admittedly a departure more bitter than sweet after she’d been used and abused by the supposedly non-monstrous men of Roarton), and the Walker siblings were pals again. You’d have been wet behind the ears to drop your guard at that point though, as there was anguish aplenty in store.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
In The Flesh’s gripping story continues this week as Kieren continues to adapt to the post warzone world created by the mass zombie uprising. As the prejudice and attacks continue, he struggles to find his place in a new world. That is when he comes across Amy, a fellow Pds human, and together they strike a bond and a connection. Meanwhile, Bill Macy has to deal with the return of his son Rick, who he himself is Pds, which clashes with his beliefs as well as various beliefs of the neighbourhood.
Two interesting arcs take a new turn in this episode. The first is the continuation of Kieren’s story. Him & Amy have quite an interesting relationship. Amy is the type of character that’s very in your face, as well as bold and not afraid of the world around her despite what she is.

Following a rather frantic first episode, this week's instalment of BBC Three's new drama In The Flesh takes on a rather more sedate pace - with his world established, writer Dominic Mitchell has a little breathing room to explore issues that other shows wouldn't and, to directly quote director Jonny Campbell, "ask questions that other dramas can't".
Pushed, prodded and poked throughout episode one, our protagonist Kieran Walker (Luke Newberry) was something of a bemused bystander last week, provoked by the actions of others. Here, he's pleasingly far more proactive - striking out and standing up for himself, confronting his sister Jem (Harriet Cains), fellow returnee Rick and others.
Inspiring Kieran further is Amy Dyer (Emily Bevan) - a Pds sufferer who's taken to undead 'life' rather better than he's managed, embracing the possibilities that being undead offers - immortality, for instance.
Our nervy lead and the outspoken Amy share...

In the Flesh continues its tale of small-town prejudice and undead guilt. Here’s Louisa’s review of episode two…
This review contains spoilers.
This week’s In the Flesh staged act two of Kieren Walker’s fraught homecoming by introducing a pair of new characters, a conflicted romance, and a redemptive mission. It was the episode in which the narrative gears proper began to turn, and In the Flesh demonstrated whether or not it had the mettle to outlive its three-part lifespan. Yes, is the answer to that, though it won’t necessarily be the supernatural premise that sees it through.
What floated to the surface of part two, past the Rotters and shotgun stuff, was a sensitive soap storyline about love. As soon as Kieren and Rick were together on screen, it was easy to ignore their partially dead status (something Rick...
